Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble de bloc de touches d'un téléphone mobile adapté pour la saisie de caractères cyrilliques correspondant à des langues parlées dans la région de Russie. Cet ensemble comprend des touches auxquelles sont attribués des numéros et des repères fonctionnels, de la gauche vers la droite, et du haut vers le bas, de la même manière que dans le cas de blocs de touches normaux. Conformément à l'ensemble de bloc de touches, les consonnes et les voyelles des caractères cyrilliques sont attribuées à des touches respectives et sont regroupées en une pluralité de caractères dotés de formes géométriques similaires ; les consonnes et les voyelles de chaque groupe sont agencées selon un ordre de fréquence d'utilisation basé sur des données obtenues par voie statistique ; les touches qui sont disposées le long d'une ligne gauche et d'une ligne inférieure de l'ensemble de bloc de touches sont définies comme composant la zone attribuée aux voyelles en raison de la plus grande facilité de reconnaissance visuelle et de l'accès facilité aux doigts d'un utilisateur sur l'ensemble de bloc de touches au cours d'une utilisation de l'ensemble de bloc de touches par l'utilisateur ; et les caractères A, E, H, O, bI et Y - qui font partie des voyelles - et les caractères B, K, H, T et III - qui font partie des consonnes - sont sélectionnés comme étant les caractères principaux des touches respectives.
